Stories From The Old Squire's Farm

Rating:
Summary: VERY funny and entertaining read-aloud!!
Review: I had never heard of C. A. Stephens until this book was given to me (thanks, Stuart!). I suspect the book is best consumed as a read-aloud. The book is packed with stories, and much to my surprise, almost every one of them is quite funny! After reading this book, two new entities were permanantly added to our family culture: "Vermifuge" and "Master Lurvey".

Summary: Great Family Night Reading for all ages!
Review: My family has read these stories aloud to our children for three generations. Since the 1st edition of these stories is long ago out of print, it was great to see that a new compilation of these stories was published. Now we all can have a copy of these wonderfully funny stories to give to our children, instead of fighting over the scarce old copies!

Summary: Misattribution
Review: My name is Eric-Jon Rössel Waugh. I'm credited as a co-editor on this book. This is something of a lie; I never did anything. I don't believe I even read half the stories in the book. I don't particularly care about the book, although I recognize it might hold value to some. It pains me to receive credit for something for which I am in no way responsible. For a decade now, I have been forced to lie. Just nod and pretend that I had a part. It'll look good on my resume. Not everyone has a book to his name.

It's torn me apart. I can't stand it. I won't tolerate it anymore.

Please; make no mistake. This is not my book. It never was. It never will be. Just leave me out of it. Leave me in peace.

Summary: Great read for kids and parents alike.
Review: This notable book is a compilation of stories based on the life of an extended family living on a Maine farm in the mid 19th century. It gives a rare glimpse into life at that time. Our family felt that it was in the same league as the Little Britches and Little House series. It's a great book for outloud family reading.
